ABSTRACTThe heating-rate dependence of crystallization temperature, Tc, and the glass transition temperature, Tg, is studied from the view points of nucleation and fragmentation processes in disordered structures. Tc and Tg are expected to increase monotonically with heating rate. Such behaviors of Tc and Tg are classified into four characteristic regions with respect to the heating rate. Results are summarized in the Transient Phase Diagram where Tc and Tg are given as a function of heating rate. The scaling rule in the Transient Phase Diagram is given.

ABSTRACTThe heating rate dependence of the phase transition temperature was formulated based on the temperature dependence of nucleation of a new phase. The glass transition temperature of a-Si was explained in terms of van der Waals fluid of a-Si pseudo-Molecules which are produced by the fragmentation of continuous random networks of Si atoms. Transient phases and their transition temperatures as a function of the heating rate are summarized in the phase diagram.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations are fired several hundred degrees above the glass-transition temperature and cooled rapidly through the glass-transition temperature range. Thermal expansion data from room temperature to above the glass-transition temperature range are important for the thermal expansion of the porcelain to be matched to the alloy. The effect of heating rate during measurement of thermal expansion was determined for NBS SRM 710 glass and four commercial opaque and body porcelain products. Thermal expansion data were obtained at heating rates of from 3 to 30°C/min after the porcelain was cooled at the same rate. By use of the Moynihan equation (where Tg systematically increases in temperature with an increase in cooling/heating rate), the glass-transition temperatures (Tg) derived from these data were shown to be related to the heating rate.

<p>Glass transition was primarily considered to be not phase transition; however, it has similarity to the second-order phase transition. Recent single-molecule spectroscopy developments have prompted re-investigating glass transition at the microscopic scale, revealing that glass transition includes phenomena similar to second-order phase transition. They are characterized by microscopic collective polymer motion and discontinuous changes in temperature dependent relaxation times, later of which is similar to critical slowing down, within a temperature window that includes the polymer calorimetric glass transition temperature. Considering that collective motion and critical slowing down are accompaniments to critical phenomena, second-order phase transition behavior was identified in polymer glass transition.</p>

Alloys of (Se100-xBix)90Te10 (x =0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 at.%) were prepared by using a conventional melt-quench technique. The samples under investigation were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential analysis (DTA) at a heating rate of 10K/min. It was found, from the XRD studies, that the alloys were amorphous in nature. The glass transition temperatures of the alloys were found to increase with increasing bismuth content. This increase in the glass transition temperature was explained on the basis of a chemically ordered network model.
